Votive shrines - a uniquely Roman phenomenon! From Home to Rome, your holiday rental in the center of Rome!

(A very short) history of Rome’s street-corner madonnas

If you find yourself walking around Rome with your nose pointed at the sky (not generally advisable in the historic center, what with the cobblestones and the scooters, but in this case it’s actually worth the risk), sooner or later you’ll spot a small niche or frame tucked into a wall, holding a sacred image […]

irish pubs in Rome, where to go to watch sports events

“Irish” pubs in Rome: the sports bar you were looking for!

As far as traveling styles go, we’re not all created equal. Some people prefer to lose themselves entirely into the culture of the place they’re visiting, others would rather retain a tether to their own country of origin, by way of enjoying its entertainment or speaking the native language, even if just for one night.

Christmas markets in Rome

There’s no need to beat around the bush: Rome is not particularly famous for its Christmas markets. Tourists in the know prefer northern Italy for this specific seasonal shopping destination: small cities and towns in Piedmont, in South Tyrol, even in Tuscany. Before you make plans and travel to somewhere else this holiday season, here’s […]

What kind of Roman apartment is the right fit for you?

As our portfolio of managed accommodations keeps expanding, we understand that some visitors to Rome cannot really tell one from the other. A city too layered to be known completely! There are multiple reasons for this. They can be unaware of the fact that most of the city center can be easily visited on foot […]

Borromini works you can see for free in Rome

Over the past few days, the first half of the massive renovation works involving the church of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza were unveiled – even though they’re still ongoing, they are a very good signal for the city, as this Baroque masterpiece had been closed for 5 years, since it was partly damaged by the terrible […]

Five medieval towers to explore Rome… with your nose in the air

According to Ferdinand Gregorovius, the great historian who lived in Rome from 1852 to 1874 studying the city, the Urbs Aeterna had once over 900 towers.
